如何在不使用 Jenkins git 插件签出文件的情况下获取分支的最新提交

Question

I am trying to develop a CI groovy pipeline in jenkins for one of our repo. The repo is huge (around 18+ GB). Checkout takes around 2/3 hours. I need to retrieve the latest commit on a branch in repo and trigger some tests (in already checked-out area).

Any idea how can i use Jenkins git plugin to get latest commit without actually checking out files?

Answer 1

for get the latest changes you have two choice:

git fetch

it just get all changes but only downloads new data from a remote repository - and it doesn't integrate any of this new data into your working files.

git pull

it is used with a different goal in mind: to update your current HEAD branch with the latest changes from the remote server. Hope it will useful for you

Answer 2

You can use --depth 1 option to clone the last state of the repo without history:

git clone --depth 1 <path to the repo>
